Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: tomcat security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0327-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0327.html
Issue date: 2007-05-14
Updated on: 2007-05-14
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2005-2090 CVE-2006-7195 CVE-2007-0450
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated tomcat packages that fix multiple security issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
3. Problem description:
Tomcat is a servlet container for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages
technologies.
Tomcat was found to accept multiple content-length headers in a
request. This could allow attackers to poison a web-cache, bypass web
application firewall protection, or conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2005-2090)
Tomcat permitted various characters as path delimiters. If Tomcat was used
behind certain proxies and configured to only proxy some contexts, an
attacker could construct an HTTP request to work around the context
restriction and potentially access non-proxied content. (CVE-2007-0450)
The implict-objects.jsp file distributed in the examples webapp displayed a
number of unfiltered header values. If the JSP examples were accessible,
this flaw could allow a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting
attacks. (CVE-2006-7195)
Users should upgrade to these erratum packages which contain an update to
Tomcat that resolves these issues. Updated jakarta-commons-modeler
packages are also included which correct a bug when used with Tomcat 5.5.23.
4. Solution:
Note: /etc/tomcat5/web.xml has been updated to disable directory listing by
default. If you have previously modified /etc/tomcat5/web.xml, this change
will not be made automatically and you should manually update the value for
the "listings" parameter to "false".
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
